The canonical place for CSS queries is the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets. However, it - and the JavaScript newsgroup comp.lang.javascript which your question also pertains to - are normally high-traffic, clogged with questions normally considerably more simplistic than yours. (Unless it has improved; I am currently without newsfeed.) Personally I'd quite like to see a newsgroup dedicated to the crossover of stylesheets and scripting, the endless problems with current browser implementations, and writing scripts to work with DOM, IE4 and Netscape 4, without having to wade through c.l.j.'s "How can I hide my scripts so people can't read them" posts. alt.dhtml.recovery, perhaps. Or something. Anyway, answering the question here because it's quite a common problem: > in Netscape [,] Any JavaScript commands that I position > directly with the style tag - or that are within a table > that I position with the style tag - become disabled. This sounds like another consequence of the Netscape "every positioned object is a separate document" object model, which normally cannot be avoided. Solution: move all your scripts into one <script> element at the top of your document, like where your <style> definitions should be. You will also have to re-write the scripts so that they access document.layers['...'].document.x instead of just document.x. Of course you'll have to detect (via document.layers) whether Netscape is running first, and if not use your normal code. And Netscape will probably still just crash anyway. Welcome to DHTMhelL, my friend. ah haha hahahaha. Ooh sorry, don't know what came over me there. -- Andrew Clover Technical Support 1VALUE.com AG
